Bought F.E.A.R for $2.96. I played, uhm, a borrowed version years ago and I wanted to wait until it appears here for $10 or so but when I saw it's Warner's property, I thought it's highly unlikely. I don't plan to re-play it, anyway.

nijuu: There seems to really very few deals many people would say "WOW/Instabuy/Must buy at all costs hammer the website into submission" type deals atm.
Agreed. I mean Sleeping Dogs for 37,47€ ($49,49)? Oh god, what a deal, I'm still dizzy. I can buy that game for the regular price $47 in store right now.

Wait a minute. During the previous flash sale voting, The Walking Dead had a -50% marker. But now it's the winner, it's only -25%. Regional pricing?

My page says 12,49€ (-50%). Probably yes.

Haven't bought much, already spent too much on GOG. Steam got beat to the punch this year, at least for me.

Does anyone know what's that loyalty discount on Call of Pripyat? Before and after activating Shadow of Chernobyl on my account it always showed the same price. Out of curiosity I tried to simulate a purchase, but still didn't see any special discount.

retsuseiba: Does anyone know what's that loyalty discount on Call of Pripyat?
The base price is lower. I own Clear Sky and Shadow of Chernobyl and my offer is:
Loyalty Promo - 6,99 euro ($9,20, - 50%)
Solo Call of Pripyat - 9,99 euro ($13,20, -50%)
Bundle Call of Pripyat Shadow of Chernobyl - 5,99 euro ($7,90, -75%)

wodmarach: GOG games are generally cheap and the unified pricing helps stop the rip off of the $1=1local currency

SimonG: Brazilians and Russian customers probably have a different view on GOGs "fair" pricing.
Yep, Steam has different prices for Brazil, not converting dollars at atual tax. It´s a little cheaper for us.

Steam promo sales seems too poor or weak to me. Not great deals and the few ones are the same as the halloween promo. Haven´t bought a thing yet and no, I don´t have many games.

Does the Saint row the third season pass includes all the DLC? If not which are the one (dlc) that are worth buying?

Thank you :)

Trying to figure out the SR3 DLC madness is a minigame in itself. :)

According to its description, the "third season pass" includes:

Genkibowl VII
Gangstas in Space
The Trouble with Clones
Nyte Blayde pack(?)

The DLCs are intentionally overpriced in such a way that even if you e.g. have the base game (or any DLC) already from Humble THQ Bundle, Steam or elsewhere but want more, it probably makes more sense to buy it all all over again with the "SR3 The Full Package". You won't probably save any money by trying to cherry-pick only the "good" DLCs.

So unless you are happy with the content-restricted base game (which apparently you aren't, since you are asking), you'd probably be better off just buying the whole SR3 Full Package deal instead of trying to figure out which DLC are worth it, as that is probably very subjective anyway. Many of the DLCs include e.g. new weapons or vehicles; I guess you'd have to try them out in order to know if _you_ feel they are worth it.

I hope this kind of nickel and diming practise never comes to GOG promos...

I only want, e.g. have a need to have the ones with storytelling in itself. The cosmetic ones normally I don't give a rats ass if they cost an exorbitant amount. Uhm so I guess if I buy the season pass I will get the all the dlcs that continue the story telling.
Well I guess I will grab probably only the season pass but have to see if something else interest me, and then start doing some math.

Thanks for your opinion, plus one to you kind sir :)
